[Verse 1]
N.C.                           AmI've tasted blood and it is sweet
               C                      FI've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
             Em                 AmI've trusted lies and trusted men
                     C           N.C.       FBroke down and put myself back together again
                         EmStared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
   Am                    CCollected the pieces and picked out a dagger
F                       EmI've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
    N.C.And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors


[Pre-Chorus]
F                    EmCome on little lady, give us a smile
      Am                    CNo, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
      F                      EmI got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
  Am                    N.C.A moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing


[Chorus]
F           Em                           AmI, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

          Em                        AmThey talk shit, but I love it every time
      CAnd I realize


[Post-Chorus]
    F                        Em               Am       CI'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a knife
         F                         Em              Am       CThat I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a knife

F             Em                             Am  No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
                    C                         FAnd I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
            Em                           AmI've been polite, but won't be caught dead
                      C             N.C.       FLettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed
                EmKeep my exes in check in my basement
       Am                       C'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
F                      EmI could play nice or I could be a bully
    N.C.I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be


[Pre-Chorus]
F                    EmCome on little lady, give us a smile
      Am                    CNo, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
      F                      EmI got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[Bridge]
F            Em          Am                 CSomeone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
    F          Em   Am                   CBut I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah
F            Em          Am                 CSomeone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
